GRETINA/GRETA Geometry… and additional dead material

LaBr-Gated 60Co: Compton Continuum

LaBr-Gated 60Co: Angular Correlations

In Beam: Ion Tracking, Reactions, and γ Decay• Beam/Beam-Like Reaction Product (GenericIon Class)

• Tracked through the target and to the S800 quadrupole

• Incoming kinetic energy• Option 1: Mean KE and dp/p

• Option 2: User-supplied incoming KE distribtution

• Relativistic 2-body reaction kinematics

• γ decay in flight• Option 1: Single transition

• Option 2: User-supplied partial level scheme• Level lifetimes

• Angular correlations

γ Tracking• Raw data: "hits" depositing energy in active detector volumes

• Primary particles (emitted γ rays)

• Secondary particles (scattered electrons, scattered γ rays, pairs)

• First pass: consolidate secondary electrons with each Compton-scattering interaction

• Second pass: Consolidate multiple interaction points within each segment• User-specified "packing resolution" (6 mm?)

• IP positions: barycenters of consolidated hits

Inverse-kinematics (p,p’)

In-beam

Output• Decomposed γ-ray packets (Mode 2 data, Type 1)

• S800 physics data packets (Type 9)

• Emitted γ-ray packets (Type 11)• Number of emitted γ rays

• Full-energy flag (multiplicity 1, full energy in one crystal)

• For each emitted γ:• Energy

• Emission position (x, y, z)

• Emission direction (theta, phi)

• Source beta

• User sorting code must fold in thresholds, energy & position resolution

Ongoing / Future Work• Geometry/Efficiencies

• Update efficiencies and the dead-layer model for the full 11 (or 12) quads

• Understand variations in dead layers – pencil-beam scans of a sample of crystals

• Implement realistic segmentation

• Continued work on angular distributions/correlations

• Response to neutrons

• Investigate Geant4 modeling of polarization

• Evaluate Addback and Tracking• Determine packing resolution empirically (hit multiplicity?)

• How to handle background?

• Test cases?

• Additional reaction kinematics (fragmentation, knockout, pickup, e.g.)
